More Reason to Buy Local....

I just saw this article on yahoo news: News Article on Beef Recall.

I buy my beef from a local ranch- Hodge Ranch. I feel 100% confident in Mr. Hodge's product. Not only do I KNOW they are well taken care of (you can visit the ranch if you are so inclined), I know the producer, and I trust him.

What really bothers me about the article is the fact that 35 MILLION lbs of this meat when to school lunch programs. I've long worried about the crap my children are served at school, but this just makes me worry more. I want the best for them. I used to make their lunches, and then I got lazy. I think it's time to start making them again.
